Case Study: Canyons School District improves student safety and web visibility with ContentKeeper Technologies

ContentKeeper Helps Make Remote Learning Safer for Students and Possibly Saves Lives

Canyons School District, a Utah education district serving 33,000 students, needed a better web filtering solution. The district was unhappy with its previous tool’s weak SSL decryption and reporting, which made it hard to see what students were accessing online. ContentKeeper Technologies provided ContentKeeper’s web filtering and SSL decryption solution to address these gaps.

With ContentKeeper Technologies, the district was able to quickly deploy fully filtered Chromebooks for remote learning, including SSL inspection at home. The solution delivered faster, more detailed reporting, real-time alerts for potentially harmful searches, and better visibility into device usage. District leaders said the rollout took only hours, helped support students during the pandemic, and may even have helped prevent tragedy by flagging suicide-related searches.
